CMLL (MON) 10/31 Arena Coliseo Lineup [box y lucha]
1) Kirvan & Lasser Man vs La Mafia & Ares El Guerrero
2) SWAT & the Tiger vs Tarahumara & Bobby Jack
3) Marcela & India Sioux vs La Nazi & Amapola
4) Maximo, Sagrado, Texano Jr. vs Hijo de Gran Markus, Furia Chicana, Maniacop
5) Heavy Metal, Negro Casas, Black Warrior, El Hijo de Lizmark vs PdM (Halloween, Mr. Aguila) and GdI (Rey & Ultimo)
Which is odd, because Gdi and PdM are opposite sides of the main event in Arena Mexico. Whatever. No one can keep this straight.
The Arena Mexico preview is actually a Terrible interview today. He’s thrilled to be back in the main event, of course. He had two operations on his eye; one laser, and one more invasive, after suffering the retina injury which put him out of action. He’s dropped some weight, to 108kg.
NJPW wants Mistico for their 01/04/06 Tokyo Dome show. That’s a couple weeks into the offseason Arena Mexico when many guys are taking time off and CMLL isn’t focused on doing much. They could easily spare Mistico for a week, and it’s could even be the start of a neat yearly gimmick for him (first week of ’05, he won the NWA MW title, first week of ’06, he wrestled at the Tokyo Dome, what’s he going to do in ’07?)
Kaori @ Mistico from Mexico City has a detailed breakdown of the Atlantis’ new evil rudo mask. (Scroll down.)

About what I expected: 0-11, taking the fall in every tag match. They’re making up the undercard and shuffling things as they go, so I can’t tell you who they’re facing on 10/30 (bigger show), 10/31, 11/03, and 11/04, but I think I can guess the results. As I’ve said before, it matters more how good they look during the match than the result at the end of the match.
